Let's take it one step at a time. Chinatown Wars has been tried out by staff at the bigger magazines, and they didn't shy away from writing about it either, so here's the reading material for anyone interested:
Rockstar has responded to the rumors: there will be no GTA V in 2009. Instead, a second DLC for GTA 4 is reportedly coming before October 31.
Citing insider information, Game Informer claims the next big-console GTA is in the works. The game's engine naturally stays the same, but we get a new city and a standalone story, just like Vice City and San Andreas after GTA 3.
No, the BBFC isn't some football team. It stands for the British Board of Film Classification, and video games fall under its authority too.
The GTA games have always been loved for modding, and it surely won't be any different with the fourth installment. For now the modders' toolset is still being developed, and after that I expect the explosion of mods to begin.
The cover of Chinatown Wars, the Nintendo DS GTA, has arrived. As I wrote, the game is coming out on February 17 and 20 respectively, and it will have the graphics quality of GTA I-II, also from a top-down view.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, developed for Nintendo's hugely popular handheld, the DS, is expected to arrive in North America on March 17, 2009, while here in Europe it will only pay us a visit 3 days later, on the 20th.
The first footage of the first Xbox 360-only downloadable DLC, The Lost and Damned, has arrived. The video was released for the 2008 Spike TV Video Game Awards, where GTA4 took three of the seven awards.
The first GTA 4 patch is finally available. As soon as we log on to LIVE, the 32.6 MB patch downloads automatically and installs within a few minutes. It fixes the following issues:
The updated 8.12 driver package for ATi/AMD cards has been released, and Radeon owners can expect a bit of a performance boost while playing GTA4.
Time magazine has found Grand Theft Auto IV worthy of the title of game of the year for 2008. The magazine's "Top 10 Everything" list comes out every year, and, not too surprisingly, GTA 4 ended up at the top of the video game list.
First of all, the DLC in question arrives on Xbox 360 on February 17th. Sadly, there's still no word on ports to other platforms.
